Eyes with weakly marked eyebrows
above them and with thinly growing
eyelashes, which are completely without
any upward curve, denote feeble con-
stitution and a melancholy disposition.
Deep-sunken and small blue eyes under
a bony, almost perpendicular forehead,
are indicative of selfish and cold hearted
natures. Eyes which show not only the
whole of the iris, but also some of the
white above and below it, denote rest
less, uncertain nature. incapable of re-
pose or of concentrated thought on any
subject. The eyes of voluptuary move

cative of frankness and simplicity of

very far apart they denote stupidity.
Eyes with sharply defined angles

Our native vine pnpularly hnown as

appreciated long ago, as it is far more

The vines are easily transplanted from
the forests where they grow, and could
doubtless be raised from seed.

The Reason Why.

1t is said there's nothing new under the
sum-" and it may be n true saying. But
when the light of reason is thrown on
some of the every day occurrences in life,
it is astonishing how little we actually
know as to the why's and wherefores of
matters which attract our attention. In
the hurly -burly of this world we are apt
to take for granted facts as they appear
because we have not time to thoroughly
investigate them. The Chicago, Milwau
kee Il st. Paul Railway Company has en-
deavored to save the enquiring mind the
trouble of much research, and has pub
lished in little book entitled "Why and
Wherefore" many reasons why various
facts exist. The language is plain and
simple, and the volume might be used with
profit as a reliable class book in public and
private schools. As household reference
it is invaluable, and children as well as
grown people can read and understand it.
While this publication is in a measure
an advertising medium for the Railway
Company, that fact does not detract from
its value, and a copy of "Why and Where
fore" will be sent free to any address by
enclosing ten cents in postage to A. V. H.
